Sorry, I meant to send this to darwin-development, not darwin-kernel.


Which is a shame, because I don't read darwin-development.

I created a tool for debugging this sort of thing.

Check out the "MAP" option.

Most problems like this are caused by folks starting their program in the wrong bootstrap namespace. TN2083 describes this whole process in gory detail. Specifically, check out the "Mach Bootstrap Basics", "Starting a Daemon", and "Bootstrap Namespaces: One More Thing" sections.
